In the beginning, prayer meetings were held in the home of Emsley and Alma Bowers in Peachland, NC (1950-1951). A tent was set up in the yard and Rev. Ruby Brown held the first revival.

Mr. Young Hawkins Allen gave the land on Highway 74 for the church to be built. The first church was dedicated on November 11, 1951.

Reverend Henry Garris of Rockingham, NC served as the first pastor. The next five pastors were Isam Blake, Wesley Whitaker, J. L. Parrish, Rev. Andrew J. Clemmons and Walter Terrell.

Rev Ranny Garris became the pastor on August 12, 1961, and his Son Jeffrey Lynn Garris became pastor on ____________and is the active pastor today.

In 1967, the church moved into an old home on Allen Street due to the Highway 74 expansion. On June 2, 1968, the church moved from the Allen Street location to its present location at 66 West Passaic Street which was the Bowers and Sheppard Store.

In 1972 the present sanctuary was built, and the existing sanctuary became the fellowship hall. In 1977 construction began on the new Sunday School rooms, Pastor’s Office, Baptistry, and an activity center. This work was completed in 1979.
